CE 481 – Introduction to Earthquake Engineering

Homework 2
A 100 kg (mass) machine part is mounted on the springs with a total stiffness (k)
of 100 kN/m and damping coefficient (c) of 0.6 kN.s/m. Plot the damped vibration
response of the machine, if u0 = 10mm and v0 = 100mm/s, between t = 0 and t = 6
seconds.
Use t = 0.01 or more dense.
Show the steps of your solution and the resulting graph.
